NE RPC is a community-organised, free-to-attend virtual conference, whose audience primarily reside in the North East of England.

Following on from our first virtual conference in June 2020, we'll be running a second event in September, with a "Back to School" theme. As technologists we're always learning, with trends and technologies changing all the time. This is a great opportunity to go back to basics, challenge established preconceptions, discuss upcoming trends in technology, or get to grips with that new JavaScript framework we've been hearing about on the Internet.

If that sounds appealing, then this is the event for you!


Our sessions will be 40 minute in length, pre-recorded by the speaker, and released 'live' according to a schedule. Following the live broadcast we'll host a Q+A with the speaker in real-time, with a friendly, inquisitive audience.


We're currently looking for speakers! If you'd like to speak, please register your session via Sessionize. We kindly ask that you observe our code of conduct and the following rule:

  • You participate as an individual; not promoting a prodct/platform/library you have a financial interest in

You will have 40 minutes to present (virtually, of course), followed by a question-and-answer session hosted by the moderator.

Our focus is on going "back to school", so some excellent ideas for topics include (but certainly not limited to):

  • Tutorials - preferrably for new technologies rather than something established
  • Revisiting and challenging preconceptions
  • Upcoming concepts - AI, Machine Learning, Virtual Reality and so on
  • "back to basics" - Security, modern/agile testing principles
  • Improving 'soft' skills (herein known as: essential people skills)
  • Principles - how we build great software

Your session will be engaging for an online, remote audience of all levels of expertise. We remain technology-agnostic. Whether you're tabs or spaces, Vim or Emacs, Java or C#, we're here to learn. We ask that speakers respect this boundary when presenting content.

A good proposal will:

  • have a simple and straightforward title
  • be authentic
  • explain why people will want to attend and what to take away
  • include as much detail about the presentation as possible
  • be free of sales and marketing
